C# - Lock Thread.sleep Not Working With .NET Thread?
Jun 25, 2010
I have a password page and when someone enters an incorrect password I want to simply foil a brute force attack by having
bool isGoodPassword = (password == expected_password);
lock (this)
{
if (!isGoodPassword)
Thread.Sleep(2000);
}
I would expect that this would allow all correct passwords without stalling, but if one user enters a bad password another successful password from a different user would also be blocked. However, the lock doesn't seem to lock across ASP.NET threads.

I want to introduce a slight wait during some testing functions, to simulate a server call. Is it sane to use Thread.Sleep(int) to introduce the wait or is there a better method to have the server wait?
Note, I'll be pausing long enough for me to visually see a sufficient lag, even tho I don't expect to see such a delay in the actual app. This is for me to visualize the actual delay that could occur.
I plan on running this both in the VS2010 local debugger webserver and in IIS 7. I'm on .NET 3.5

While passing through code in our project I came across a web method that had this code at the end of it:
thread.sleep(6000);
return true;
Now, this was done so the jQuery ajax call from the client gets delayed and the ajax animation will show for a little bit longer. This is very wrong in my eyes. There shouldn't be this kind of connection between UI and server side. If he wants the animation to take longer he can use the setTimeOut function in the client side. Here is my problem: how can I explain to the programmer why this is so wrong? Not just because the client/server thing, but why ever call thread.sleep on a website?

I maintain a ASP.NET web application that causes a user's network connection to reset for several seconds when it executes a procedure. Therefore, the page request times out on the user's end as they never receive the web application's response (the connection dies before it gets the response packet).
To resolve this situation, I was contemplating having the ASP.NET page execute an asynchronous function that incorporates a Thread.Sleep(5000); // sleep for 5 seconds before executing the connection reset This way, the browser has 5 seconds to receive the page's response before their connection resets.
I have concerns with using Thread.Sleep and asynchronous functions in ASP.NET though. I've never attempted to do it before, so I'm unsure of the potential problems it may cause. Does anyone see potential problems with starting an asynchronous thread that contains a Thread.Sleep in an ASP.NET application?

I create a NetworkStream from a TCPClient, I then call BeginRead() followed by Thread.Sleep(60000).
It seems that the BeginRead call back function will only ever occur after Thread.Sleep() has completed. Is this expected behaviour?
What I was expecting was for the call back function to be carried out on a separate thread whenever it was ready and that the Thread.Sleep() on the current thread should have no affect on when/how the call back function runs...
I'm currently creating a VT100 terminal emulator, I wanted to created a method that would allow me to make the emulator sleep until a given string is found in the screen buffer. Initially I was trying to call WaitOne() on the IAsyncResult passed back from BeginRead() if the string was missing (this was to allow more data to pass into the system so that the check could then be carried out again until it was passed), after this failed I tried Thread.Sleep instead of WaitOne() but this blocked my BeginRead call back from firing and I'm now I'm starting to think everything is running from a single thread...

I'm developing an ASP.NET forms webapplication using C#. I have a method which creates a new Order for a customer. It looks similar to this;
private string CreateOrder(string userName) {
// Fetch current order
Order order = FetchOrder(userName);[code]....
The problem here is, it is possible that 1 customer in two requests (threads) could cause this method to be called twice while another thread is also inside this method. This can cause two orders to be created.
How can I properly lock this method, so it can only be executed by one thread at a time per customer?
I tried;
Mutex mutex = null;
private string CreateOrder(string userName) {
if (mutex == null) { [code]....
This works, but on some occasions it hangs on WaitOne and I don't know why. Is there an error, or should I use another method to lock?

I have an ASP.NET site that I am maintaining. Currently it has code that on first access (and other times too) goes and does a bunch of data caching by writing it to files. Currently it has no locking so we cna get problems with multiple people accessing the site and multiple threads trying to write to the files at the same time. This is obviously bad so I am going to implement some locking.
My current modified code just puts a simple lock around a section of code so that later requests just wait until the first request is done.
My concern is that I haven't used locks much so I just want to check if there is any situation in which that lock could not get released? For example I have no idea what happens if that first thread is killed (eg the web server decides its run too long and shuts it down). Does the lock get automatically freed at that point? Is there anything else I need to think about while doing this?
Edit to add:Here is what I think are relevant bits of Code in case there is anything I am doing stupid...
I am using private lock objects accessed through a dictionary and don't do anything much more than wrap some code in a SyncLock statement (equivalent of C# lock).
Public Shared Sub CheckAllVariables(ByVal SourceName As String, ByVal cn As HttpContext)
...
Do While dr.Read
projectID = dr.GetInt32(dr.GetOrdinal("ProjectID"))
Dim cacheLockObject As Object = GetCacheLockObject(projectID)code]....
Should I wrap access to the GetCacheLockObject function in a lock to prevent the possibility of two threads going in simultaneously and both finding the cache lock doesn't exist and then both creating it and returning different ones? I'm a little unused to having to consider thread safeness (assumign I am using that term correctly).

I'm new to threading and have used it successfully, but limited. I can spawn a thread and have the main thread reference variables in the spawned thread, but I don't know how to allow the spawned thread to reference (and update) variables in the main thread.
Any example threading code I've seen on the web appears to be WAY more complicated than what I do, so I am unable to understand or integrate into my code.
Here is a quick example of how I use threading:

I am reading the Asp.net security documentation on msdn.I come across these tow terms and get really confused.
# WindowsIdentity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent()
which returns the identity of the security context of the currently executing Win32 thread.
# Thread = Thread.CurrentPrincipal
which returns the principal of the currently executing .NET thread which rides on top of the Win32 thread.

In an ASP.NET application, I have a resource that is protected by a ReaderWriterLockSlim.
Normal requests call EnterReadLock, access the resource, call ExitReadLock and return.
At one moment, I accidently forgot to put a call to ExitReadLock somewhere in my code. On the next request, I got an exception stating that the thread had already entered the lock.
Fair enough: if at the end of request A the thread does not exit the lock, and that same thread is used to process request B, and tries to enter the lock, it will throw.
Now, my question: is the following scenario possible? reasons?
thread begins to process request A
thread enters lock
thread does, say, sleep, or do some IO, and so becomes available same thread begins to process request B, while request A is "on hold"
thread enters lock !! throws !!
If yes, what other solution do I have to protect said resource? Bearing in mind I want to use a ReaderWriterLockSlim because I also have other thread that may write to the resource?
edit: add some details: 1) This happens in the ProcessRequest method of an HttpHandler which generates, caches and serves images. These images are expensive to generate. So, the first request will generate and cache the image, and we want to put the other requests on hold while generating.
2) We have not tried to "reproduce" -- at the moment we're trying to know if it is possible or not that the same thread begins processing a request while already waiting for the image to become ready.
3) I am aware of the LockPolicyRecursion but I am not sure I fully understand its purpose, and whether it would be OK to set it to SupportsRecursion in our case.
edit: going further...According to the document pointed to by Ryan below, a thread will block and not return to the pool as long as we don't engage into async operations. So once we've locked the thread waiting for EnterReadLock to complete, it won't return to the pool nor process any other request.
So 1) we should be safe but 2) we might starve the thread pool. Assuming we don't want to immediately return a dummy "please wait" image, what solutions do we have?

I need an explanation regarding some advice I got on this site. I'm doing a newsletter sending app, and I have my mail sent in a seperate thread so the process doesn't slow down the whole web site. A couple of people advised me to set the threads IsBackground property to true. I did this, but was also courious about what this does, so I googled a bit.
As it turns out, setting the IsBackground property to true indicates that "it's okay if the process shuts down while this thread is still running.". Or as microsoft puts it "Any remaining background threads are stopped and do not complete." I don't know if I got this the wrong way but, wouldn't it be better to leave the IsBackground property to false, so that the spawned thread can complete its work regarding the main thread?

Here the code

Errors I am getting are:
1. If I have the headers clear thing there it gives requires integrated IIS pipes or something like that.
2.If I don't have the clear headers it says the headers were already sent.

I am executing time consuming task in a new thread. ParameterizedThreadStart pts = new ParameterizedThreadStart(WorkingFoo); Thread thread = new Thread(pts);
The WorkingFoo executing the task and keeps track of the progress steps (it can return the total number of "steps" and the current step).
I want to display this information in a progress bar (simple div or ajax control, I don't mind).
I don't want, ofcourse, visually refresh the page that will display the progress. Also I want to reduce as much as possible the number of postbacks. So how do I do that? How to show the current progress from new thread on the web page? Also the page that shows the progress can be closed and re-opned and still get the current status.

I have a thread that runs querying a DB and returning some values. If this values satisfyes a condition, I want to raise a message box (javascript alert) for the client side.
In my system, users can post some tasks in DB, and the thread is going to constantly query the database to check if user has things to do. If user has, the system must alert him through a message box.
I've done javascripts invokings with ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript, and Attributes.Add for buttons. But now I want to call the javascript functions (wich will alert the user that he has things to do) from the midle of a sub (that is executed in a thread), without a submit, load or click event. How can I do it?

I'm trying to read a static property from a static class, which is being modified from a different thread.
Basically I have this static class:
public static class Progress{
public static int currentProgress{get; set;}
}
and this thread manipulating the currentProgress:
private void Job(){
for(int i = 0; i<100; i++){
Progress.currentProgress = i;
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
}
While this is running, I have a HttpHandler trying to access this progress (every few seconds), like so:
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) {
context.Response.Write(Progress.currentProgress.toString());
context.Response.End();
}
But the currentProgress is set to it's initialvalue here, while the workThread is working, and only when done, is the currentProgress updated.
